Both programs, women's and men's, are coming off their best seasons ever, with the men finishing seventh at the NAIA National Championship and the women concluded in fourth at the SAC Championship.
"I'm incredibly grateful and blessed for the opportunity to lead these two programs. I'd like to thank Mike Ross, Coach Steve Holden, and Coach Luke Burns for believing in me and entrusting me with something that already means so much to me. I'm excited to invest in our student-athletes, build on the foundation that's already in place, and continue competing at a high level. I can't wait to get to work!"
